My wife kayak reading while I fish just north of Rockville Bridge on the Susquehanna River. One smallmouth right before we left. An ocean of lies and chaos? Firehose doesn’t seem to cut it. Orwellianhose?
Now I have a hankering for lobster. And sunsets. My offering of Conodoguinet Creek where Letort Spring Run enters near Carlisle PA. Fish didn’t cooperate. But it’s always fun creek wading in summer.
NPS Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. This is part of the stuff that makes us great. I do believe even the blockheads are beginning to understand the extent to which they have been blockheads. And what that means. Citizenship matters more than ever. I believe it is sinking in.
Recent trip to the Poconos. Revisiting a childhood memory at Bushkill falls. Now it has great symbolism for what is coming this November. We are going to power through this. And not stop.
Harrisburg PA yesterday late afternoon. Mother Earth doesn’t care how stupid we are. And we are monumentally stupid. She barely shrugs. Maybe mutters some expletives.
Damn, this is a heavy edition in an Orwellian way. My offering of a different vide on the Susquehanna River north of the Rockville Bridge near Harrisburg PA. Zero fish, got caught in a brief downpour, and blown around a bit. And yet perfect. Good exercise too! Incredible river.
A little inspiration yesterday in seeing Big Boy 4014 going over the iconic Rockville Bridge north of Harrisburg.
Permelia Rhodes Glaze (1809-1887), my 3G Grandmother through the Florence line. Her daughter Jane, married the best named Florence, Stern, in 1850.
I can offer a post fishing (skunked) parking lot video from yesterday. Who knew deer like Fairport Convention?
Got my mind right - well, better - yesterday. Mostly a bass day, but one nice bluegill.
Unexpected sign today of a blue wave. Didn’t realize they were in town. Blue Angels equals a blue wave.
Had to add. Santee National Wildlife Refuge, SC. He actually told me he’s pissed off at Republicans too. Go figure.
Sometimes I sense a picture coming. Not this time. But damn, I understand. Particularly beautiful. My offering of a recent stay near Botany Bay Heritage Preserve, SC. One of our happy places.
My Mom in 2024 at her 95th birthday. She loved saying “I 95” all the time. The interstate and all. She thought it was so funny. Her saying it all the time certainly was. In a few months “I 97” will work. A great Mom. An even better woman.
An excerpt from Timothy Egan’s excellent book that struck a chord with me and our current times. This describes the aftermath of rape charges against DC Stevenson being silenced in 1924. I feel like I had been ignoring a lot of reality my first 40+ years. Howard Zinn and 911 actions changed that.
This was part of a Facebook post. I'll be curious to see if it is validated. Pretty telling if it is. Release the trump-epstein files!
Though day yesterday fishing, but in leaving the first spot I looked up and was rewarded with an eagle. Came up as bald, but I believe a golden. Don’t get to see them often.
Looking out back with a soothing light rain to take the edge off. It seems we forgot essential corn for our meal, so a store adventure is soon upon me.
Fascist dictators destroy rights. A little refresher on what was in play. This should disgust everyone and send a chill down to your core.
On behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I’d like to apologize for this epic disaster of a fraud. Connor Lamb should be our Senator.
I really loved your sign yesterday. Crimes against humanity works for me. But what he did to children tears upon my being. Harrisburg PA showed up yesterday. Rally and march.
You are welcome. Keep them coming. My wife is on a daily painting run. Her latest.
And Bondi. Fetterman is a fraud. Odds are he is raking in far right money.
Love the last paragraph. Leading up to that i had expletives bouncing between my ears. I like to look forward to justice. I feel it coming on many levels. My wife was visiting a nest along a creek near Hellam, PA on a perfect picture day and got these extraordinary shots.
Damn. Honestly, I have to say I'm more than ready for a picture letter. It already feels like forever since November '24. But still going! A gray day here in Pennsylvania near the capital. The squirrel baffle is doing its job. We need better constitutional baffles for our republic.
No matter what is coming at us, mother earth doesn’t care and does what she does. After a day of painting (ceilings and walls), I went out for a walk and was stopped in my tracks just out the front door and stood for a spell.
